My favorite vegetable

One reason I did put this picture up is that most karela in the US is shipped [in freezers] from India What a huge carbon footprint!!! At Kalachandjis Community Garden, karela is being grown successfully, EVEN without need for artificial fertilizers. My friend, Shalagram Das, who coordinates and maintains the garden uses Hi-Brix gardening method, which is natural like the traditional Indian agriculture. If it can be produced here successfully, WHY should we pay high price to get them from India? Enjoying my favorite vegetable would not be a guilty experience, then... :)
